It's time to start the process as everyone else mentioned above.

One of my associate mentioned that both me as a seller and the buyer can claim the interest paid every month, I'm hesitant to argue with your "associate" because who am I?

.#5  Airbnb -  Do NOT mention "airbnb".   

Also not mentioned but worth noting.

They don't mention anything about paying payroll taxes, workers comp, complying with laws, etcReal estate agents can have a team around them where they do have employees if they have admin/support or marketing team.Regardless, if you want to interchange small business for commissioned sales people in my post you can.My post was mentioning that service providers in the real estate space are incentivized by their advertisements as it will increase their annual income.

If you get your system and modeling down and follow what I mentioned above with respect to coming up with your strike price/offer price, you shouldn't look back if someone overpays for the property.

Scott - I'm in the same boat -- looking for STRs in the area you mention, as well as closer to Asheville (where I live). 

Just make sure you mention it in your listing description so expectations are met if they do need to access it!

That's why I came across turnkey properties for some hand holding as you mentioned.  

The problems you mention are just known issues.
